SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 17 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 24.8; its strongest pillar is ground at 82.8 and its weakest is water stress at 1.4. Flood. Flood pillar 13.0, safer than 13% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 1.3 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 14.6, safer than 14% of land cells and level with 0%; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 13.0, safer than 13% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 1.6 events/century.

Water stress pillar 1.4, safer than 1% of land cells; water stress 5.0 score. Source: WRI Aqueduct 4.0 (vintage: Aqueduct 4.0, July 2023). Ground. Ground pillar 82.8, safer than 83% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 1.0 class (1–5).

Coverage: Tornado records cover the United States only, so this area has no tornado reading: a gap in the record, not a measured zero. This is a statistical summary of public hazard data, not advice about any property or decision.
Terra scores ~10 km hexagonal cells from public global datasets — it is area analysis, not a property assessment. Tornado history covers the United States only; flood hazard is modeled at ~1 km and ignores local defenses; hurricane records before 1966 and wildfire records before 2001 are incomplete. Where data is missing or coarse for your area, Terra says so instead of guessing.
